August last year in kochi kerala Goverment launched a project named Nirbhaya Karalam to insure the saftey of women’s and children live in the State through community-based policing but it has hit a wall due to lack of funds.

The pillars of the project are the 120 women volunteers from all over the city who are expected to approach city residents, hear their problems and offer solutions. The novel project, the police hoped, would encourage women to report crimes with help from the volunteers. Due to the lack of funds, however, the police are having a tough time running the project and keeping the volunteers motivated.

A volunteer said interest in the project dropped for some of her colleagues after they had to pay for their expenses out of their own pockets. “We used to have weekly meetings to discuss our progress and the cases we came across. But those had to be suspended because many stopped coming to the meetings,” said a volunteer.
